can we use any coupons to bring the price down?

[devil2k]

can we use any coupons to bring the price down?

don't think there's any coupon for $50 ATM, but you can use the $10 off of $100 to get something for $10 for free.

Just jumped on this... the hacks look incredible for this device. Can't wait to play around with it.

Nice price, wish it had bluetooth though

[EPcjay]

Where can i get updated maps for this?

[BB88]

4.3" just doesn't go with 320x240 resolution. Is that a mis-print?

[hugewallet]

this gps was at this price two years ago around xmas time in 2007.

i still have it. but dont know how to hack it. if not hacked, this gps is POS.

the customer reviews seem mixed... 1st 1/2 bad reviews, last 1/2 (current) are somewhat good....

this gps was at this price two years ago around xmas time in 2007.

~1.5 yrs ago 4.3" GPS for $90? you sure?
it was only over the past ~1/2 yr +/- that i've noticed GPSs going for $100 or less

i still have it. but dont know how to hack it. if not hacked, this gps is POS.

care to elaborate?

It was $99 at Staples one-day only sale in 2007 X'mas

It was very popular and OOS very quickly
$100 for Text-to-Speech and Widescreen is unheard of

I got one, got it hacked (so no auto-shutoff) and best GPS I got
